I understand financial responsibility, but a Dun & Bradstreet?!?!?!?!

Is that even allowed without specific consent?
If some GLO asked me to sign a consent to pull a D&B, I'd tell them where to put that consent.

During our rush about two years ago i'd say now, things were really competitive (more so than normal) b/c total had been raised (we never hit total, nor do we want to, we're local so it doesn't really matter to us anyway) Anyway, all the girls went to all the parties the first day in the student union. Later that night, one of my sisters was at work at friendly's and (with no lavalier or any letters on) waited on a table FULL of ABC's and about 8 PNM's. (not to mention there is a silent period, so the fact that they were even out with them was bad enough) The ABC's were practically putting letters on these girls and guarenteeing them bids all over the place. Finally, when my sister dropped the check, she went up to the President of ABC (she knew who she was) and said, i'd be careful what you say, you never know who's listening. I'm in Nu Sig. The girl's face DROPPED and so my sister came to eboard and we reported them. The lost their entire pledge class.

When I went through rush, lawn chants were still the norm. At the end of the party, we were escorted out the door and onto the front walk, then all the sisters would come out and do various songs and chants (think hyper pep rally)
While standing in front of one of the houses, the active right in front of us dropped a piece of paper while she was jumping, clapping and chanting. afterward, she turned and walked back inside the house. One of my fellow rush group members (who had just been rushed by this girl) picked up the piece of paper and written on it was a list of names with notes, stars and other symbols next to it. It was obviously a "cheat sheet" of the rushees from the party.
After we passed the note around (it was easy to decide if we should drop the house based on our rating!) she turned it in to the PX.
The next day the rusher who dropped the paper confronted the rushee and asked why she had turned it in. Turns out, she dropped it on purpose so that the rushee would know she "had" a spot.
Oh, and we had a house get in trouble during skit rounds when another house was doing a "Pepsi" themed skit. Several of the members of ABC started yelling "Drink Coke" in the middle of XYZ's chants (the chants usually followed the theme of the skits).

I'm sure the Pepsi house was mortified, but that is freaking funny.

It would have been funny if both houses were on the same tier- unfortunately the Pepsi house was struggling for numbers and the coke house was one of the strongest houses- so what the members said held allot of weight with the rushees.

D&B's pull publicly available information I believe. But DAMN.

They didn't ask - I assume that they got the information from our registration form. Now that I think about it, the registration form had practically the same information as a rec.
I was terribly glad that I didn't find this out prior to R, because it would have totally freaked me out!
